THIS is the history play I want to see! This play explores the nature of changing technologies, the origins of writing, gender, state power, resistance to it, handlessness, disability, and the invention of poetry. We go back in time to contemplate identity, expression, and language as the Assyrian empire shifts from cuneiform to Aramaic. It begs the question of art & technology in a manner that feels timely with questions about A.I. and delivered with some much-needed laughter. #SparkFest23
